How We Refine Gold vs How God Refines Us (Job 22-24)

"But he knows the way that I take; when He has tried me, I shall come out as gold. My foot has held fast to His steps; I have kept His way and have not turned aside." -Job 23:10-11

How do we refine a gold? Here is the instruction:
1. Put your gold into a container and add a specific amount of nitric acid to the gold. Then let it sit for 30 minutes.

2. Add hydrochrolic or muriatic acid you might have to wait for an hour or even wait overnight for the mix to turn brown and hot before you can filter the acid!

3. Pour the mixture into other container, acid should be a clear emerald green, if it isn't, then we must re-filter the mixture (go back to 1-3)! Because it shows that the gold is still contaminated (still carrying the unclean).

The first three steps are part of preparing us for the storm ahead. We must be ready to face something we cannot handle by facing something smaller first like how David faced the lion and the bear and overcome them with his slingshot. If he haven't been tested with those two creatures, he mightn't be able to face the Giant like the 'storm precipitant'! There is no doubt that Job went through something before he got the blessing from God because Job often claimed that He has blessed Job. If Job hasn't done anything, then how may He bless Job and regarded him the most faithful and upright?

If we failed the test, we won't die for God is full of mercy! Like how we can go back to steps 1-3 if the filter process hasn't turned into a clear emerald green to show that we have increased our faith through something! God will forgive us 7 x 70! What number will we get? I am a mathematic teacher myself! WRONG! We didn't get 490! Sorry, I just flushed mathematic degree into the toilet and turned to Him, so the answer will be infinite! Like the symbol of 8 being flipped over into the symbol of infinite! Yeah God's way is being flipped over in our eyes, but His way is true!

4. Add water and urea mix to the acid slowly. Let it boil and the foam will appear, but be sure that it won't overflow and lose some gold! When it stop foaming, stop adding water/urea mix.

5. Boil clean water separately and add storm precipitant (Secret product, the manufacture refuse to give out the recipe for the chemicals! So you will have to buy it!). Add it to the acid slowly to prevent overflowing. It will turn muddy. Wait for 30 minutes, then use precious metal detection liquid to detect dissolved gold so none of them will go away wasted.

It is like how we do not understand how the storms may refine us like the gold! His recipes are like a mystery to us! Job said, "The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord." after everything was taken away from him! Then after that, He will restore us like how a precious metal detection liquid restored the scattered gold to oneness! Healing comes!

6. Pour the acid into other container by filtering, then you will see the mud at the bottom of the container, don't throw it away! It is full of gold! Then add water 3-4 times and rinse to get the mud out to find the pure gold! Then pour aqua ammonia on the gold, the white vapors will appear, then rinse again for one more time before letting the gold dry to be completed!

While we are being restored (healed) after being dead to our flesh like the 'mud at the bottom', to be last, to be nothing! God removed the something so that we may be restored to Him. Then He shall give us a renewed vision like 'aqua ammonia' to be fully alive in Him, to be transformed, to shine radically, to fly like an eagle!
But after that, we will need to be dusted to keep clean and pure! So that we won't grow weary or faint, but to keep flying like an eagle!

Remember, before all of those may happen, we will have to wait for long time. 30 min + 1 hour (or overnight) + 30 min = 2 hours... but comparing gold to us, it may be like 20 years... then to God it may be like 1/50 day to God (according to the formula 1000 years = 1 day). So that will be like 28 minutes and 48 seconds to God for our 20 years of waiting! Sheesh!
